Sujet : [blml] played or not?
 
The contract is 3NT but declarer is confused and he thinks  he's
playing 5 diamonds. He plays a card from hand and instructs dummy to
"ruff". When the table stops laughing, the director is called.
Has the lowest diamond been played or not?
 
 
We had a similar case two years ago (in 2NT vs spades).
Since there is no trump suit, there is no card designated by the words 
trump" or "ruff".
Come to think of it, if declarer doesn't say himself what suit he believes
to be trumps, how would you rule which suit he has in mind ?
That's the way André Leplat ruled, and he was right IMHO.
 
Best regards
